Just to add to the list I am now considering a Bentley CGT, I am going to go and test drive it this weekend. Can't wait! I wasn't originally planning to get one since I thought it was out of my price range, but I just talked to my friend and he told me their are some really good deals to be had nowadays and they are in my price range After the test drive I will go and test drive some P-cars 997 GT3 and TT. thank you to everyone who voted and helped contribute to this thread/poll!

CLS55 AMG has a 5 speed. The new CLS63 has gone to the 7 speed.
Then plain simple from his list posted I would go with the ///M5

Honestly,

After test driving a Maserati Quattroporte S and a Gran Turismo S yesterday, I have to say that the Gran Turismo S was the greatest thing I've ever driven. It's a whole different kind of level than the M5. I am so tempted to buy the Gran Turismo S right now...

My 535i felt like a honda civic when I got back into it after the test drive....

So my vote is for the Maserati as long as it's an S otherwise M5. That S exhaust sound and performance was just amazing...What is it 10k more than the non S version? What's 10k when you're all ready that high. The Gran Turismo S I drove yesterday was 142k, and the Quattroporte S was 146k...Amazing cars...


Good luck...

Thanks for the review, never drove the S before, I drive my dads QP sometimes, I agree it is an amazing car, but unfortunately I don't think I can afford a brand new one. My budget is around 90k.

P.S. I test drove a couple porsche's yesterday one being a used Porsche 997 GT3 and I think I fell in love with this car, I am trying to seal the deal on this car soon, we'll see how it goes.

If you seal the deal on a GT3 you'll never look back. That is the ultimate car control experience from Germany! It's freaking fast too, and due to the lower weight it feels as fast as a 600-700bhp supercar.

Not to try to undo your thinking on this, but I just popped out to get my little guy a memory card for his new Nintendo DSi and there was a Quattroporte parked next to me which pulled away as I got out of my car. I don't know if his exhaust was stock, but that thing sounded absolutely incredible. It had an absolutely unbelievable exhaust note, you could clearly hear the Maranello connection in the loud baritone wail of the Ferrari-derived engine and the many pops and crackles on the overrun were just spine tingling. Truly woody-inducing stuff.

I told you it is all about the GT3, post# 42.

Once you test drive one it is a done deal. A car you will never forget.

Did you get it or what?
